Jesus For President by Shane Claiborne

Jesus For President

Jesus for President is Shane Claiborne's second book after The Irresistible Revolution. This first book has given Shane a fast track to prominence and he's found a considerable following here in the UK with his regular trips to Greenbelt amongst others. I think Brits like American Christians that aren't republican moral majority types such as Tony Campolo and Jim Wallis.

The Supremacy of Christ in a Postmodern World by John Piper and Justin Taylor

The Supremacy of Christ

They say the church has jumped on the postmodern bandwagon just as the world has begun to jump off it. I'm not sure, it seems to me that postmodern thinking is alive and well in much of our culture, in our attitudes to tolerance, truth and the consequent apathy to all things significant.

Disciple-making Pastor by Bill Hull

Disciple-making Pastor

This book (although with a new cover and updated) by Bill Hull caught my eye at a recent conference. Discipleship not conversion is the biggest challenge of our day, how to produce a church of people that don't merely give assent to Christ as their Saviour but follow Him as Lord.

Holy Discontent

Holy Discontent is not a complicated book, it's not a deep book. I'm not 100% convinced there's enough here for a book but you can't fault Hybels for passion.

Total Church - A radical reshaping around gospel and community

Total Church

A radical reshaping around gospel and community. Emerging church movements can be strong on community but weak on truth; conservative evangelicals can be strong on truth but weak on community. Chester and Timmis call for a new approach which has the best of both worlds.

The Reason for God by Tim Keller

The Reason for God

Why does God allow suffering in the world? How could a loving God send people to Hell? Why isn't Christianity more inclusive? How can one religion be "right" and the others "wrong"? Why have so many wars been fought in the name of God?
These are just a few of the questions and doubts even ardent believers wrestle with today.
